Efforts to sustain education and subsidized meal programs during COVID-19-related school closures, United States, March-June 2020

Published by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Metadata Last Checked: August 08, 2025 | Last Modified: 2022-01-12
Data on distance learning and supplemental feeding programs were collected from a stratified sample of 600 school districts. School districts were divided into quartiles based on the percentage of students eligible for free/reduced-price lunch, an indicator of family economic status, as reported by the National Center for Education Statistics (https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/). A simple random sample was taken in each stratum, and sample size per stratum was calculated using 95% confidence interval of 50% ± 10%. Data on the availability and method of delivery of both distance learning and supplemental feeding programs were collected from publicly available announcements on school district websites and their official social media pages (Facebook, Twitter). Google searches were performed for news resources when information was not available from online district sources.
